Can u tell me the answers and how to do it.
Because im in 8th grade
Sure! I'd be happy to help you solve this. To find the answers, we can use trigonometric ratios. In a right-angled triangle, the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are commonly used. Let's solve each part step-by-step:
a. We need to find the sine of angle A. The sine of an angle is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. So, sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse. In this case, the side opposite angle A is BC and the hypotenuse is AB. Therefore, sin(A) = BC/AB = 15/17.
b. We need to find the cosine of angle A. The cosine of an angle is equal to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. So, cos(A) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse. In this case, the side adjacent to angle A is AC and the hypotenuse is AB. Therefore, cos(A) = AC/AB = 8/17.
c. We need to find the sine of angle B. Using the same formula as in part (a), sin(B) = BC/AB = 15/17.
d. We need to find the cosine of angle B. Using the same formula as in part (b), cos(B) = AC/AB = 8/17.
e. To find the measure of angle A, we can use the inverse sine function. So, angle A = sin^(-1)(sin(A)). Plug in the value of sin(A) from part (a): angle A = sin^(-1)(15/17).
f. To find the measure of angle B, we can use the inverse sine function as well. So, angle B = sin^(-1)(sin(B)). Plug in the value of sin(B) from part (c): angle B = sin^(-1)(15/17).
Please note that when using inverse trigonometric functions on a calculator, make sure it is set to the appropriate angle mode (degrees or radians) as specified in the question.
